Tsunami Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Wijnaldum was at fault for the goal, poor challenge and he watches as Anita gets pulled in and doesn't close down Payet when he can see he's free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 You could argue that he lost his man for the goal but I actually think Anita's played his role the best so far tonight. There was so much other collective shit happening during the goal that you can hardly blame Anita solely for their goal. I'm not. I know Yorkie, speaking to the lot on here as a whole. After losing out in the challenge Wijnaldum just stood and watched the ball, and so reacted way too late to Payet's presence. Anita's being singled out on NBC as he was closest to Payet originally but at least he tried to do something. Just bad defending all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bad defending all round. yeah just watched it again on sky, the ball broke into anitas area and he went towards it but didn't win it, don't think he couldn't react, but in doing so he did lose his - that should have been covered by wijnaldum though, no doubt about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 That was pretty shit and yet, we really should be level. Janmaat has to score that (or leave it for Wijnaldum). No reason we can't get at least a point out of this game, but McClaren needs to make some changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Krul, Haidara, Anita, Colback, Thavin, Gini and Cisse all shit in their own different ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Would bring Ayoze on for Colback and put him on the left. Thauvin on the right, Sissoko in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Anita has been our best player first half. The one time he lost his man we got punished. Cissé as shite as ever. Get Perez on now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It's typical usual bullshit. Put out a negative, "containing" eleven. Concede early, offer nothing and contain even less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Quite disheartening so far. Unlucky to concede a well taken goal but we don't look up to much tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Anita/Colback offer nothing like, absolutely nothing. They don't contribute, they don't protect, they're easily dominated by every other CM we face and are always goal-side and get pulled all over the shop. It needs to change, either personnel or formation or both because this isn't working Stevie, it's fucking pigshit. Anita and Colback will never dominate a midfield. They might use some guile or neat passing to move things on (Anita more than Colback) but pairing them together in the middle is proving a disaster. They could work if they are paired with a big strong player doing the physical bit for them, but are useless without that. Every team will be targeting these too. And while Tiote at his best could be a good foil for them, I doubt we ever see that Tiote again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. We play 7 men who are largely there to defend the goal and we still concede regularly. Change it ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Cisse and Sissoko haven't got a braincell between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Anita wasn't the only one at fault for the goal. Janmaat - not for the first time - panicked and Wijnaldum (who has looked out of sorts tonight) made a very tentative challenge. But we seem to lack any kind of presence when the ball breaks around the centre and edge of either penalty area. Those are the situations where you expect a midfield anchorman to intervene with a clearance / tackle, or a shot / pass, and it just doesn't happen. It's not just been a problem in this game.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Seriously though if McClaren can't see after that first half that we need Perez or De Jong if not both to be starting he probably never will. It's clear as fucking day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
